Still makes little sense that there are a lot of us with the app on an iphone with the most current OS upgrade and have zero issues. I would also hope that if the developers are having an issue where the app could send you into harms way they would not remain silent on the issue. Has to be something else going on.

They remained silent, obviously not intentionally, because they obviously were not informed that the cart path exiting Lake Sumter Landing heading southbound down Morse was closed 3 years ago (according to TV). The path was moved back through the Winn Dixie parking lot. So if a newbie, as I was at that time, living in Amelia for only 2 days, followed the voice and written directions they would, as I did, end up at the old path unable to turn into it because it was blocked, with the only 2 options being take the cart around the circle or making a u-turn the wrong way in traffic across the circle exit. I did notify them of the error a couple months ago. That plus a few other errors in directions (sending you to Nancy Lopez instead of LSL from Amelia) made the app very untrustworthy. All these errors required requesting direction between specific points. If one didn't need to go between those locations you would never be aware of the issue.

The other problem was while they responded quickly to the issues the response was "we're planning a new release in the next few weeks" thus leaving others still unknowingly susceptible to these incorrect directions and other errors.

As for all the constant crashing all you need to do is read the reviews in your specific App Store (IOS or Google Play) to see it isn't isolated. It seems to me to be location specific where the app can't handle specific data and simply shuts down upon an error when it attempts to processes it. Happens on my iPhone 7plus and my wife's 6s consistently although we hardly ever use it anymore. When we do it still crashes but we are now able to go without it.

Now I just use Google Maps set for walking when I need directions and while it isn't 100% it's better than nothing.

Obviously they have issues as they said so in their last message and hopefully for the next "newbies" coming in the Villages the upcoming version makes it more trustworthy.

Just messing with the app just now and here is just one example of an app that has never been fully tested. (Just for fun before doing this I removed the app, shut down phone and restarted the reinstalled it).

We wanted to extend our helping hand regarding any questions or needs regarding the Villages GPS app as well. Our store here in Spanish Springs as well as our store located in Wildwood just blocks from Brownwood Square are ready to help you with any questions regarding this app or any others for that matter. You DON'T even have to be a current Cricket customer. We're here to help anyone who seeks it and we love doing it!

Online and over the phone help is fine, but a personable and approachable cellphone pro in your area that's within driving or carting distance is much better.

Our team here is hired and trained with the specific abilities and experience needed to take care of those who are either new to smartphones in general or need a patient helping hand getting specific questions answered.
